Readers' Travel Awards 2018: the best hotel spas in the UK

By hotel spas we don’t just mean a small treatment room and a visiting local masseuse, but truly dedicated spaces with a reputation for pinpoint treatments and assured therapists. Last year’s runner-up, Chewton Glen, is this year’s winner, with perceptive scores for its skilled therapists, holistic programmes and bedrooms, although Bath’s Gainsborough Spa came a close second. In London, the Corinthia, with its brain-boosting mindfulness programme, nudged just ahead of the new-look Mandarin Oriental, but both had respectable scores for their range of treatments and therapists. The scores below are percentages representing overall average levels of satisfaction.
